Do you have a top in a similar color? That way there can be a long column of color under the blazer that draws the eyes vertically. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-disproportionate-midi#post-620058 Tue, 15 May 2012 04:28:37 +0000 catgirl 620058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Something shiny would be great! I seem to be forgetting accessories these days... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-disproportionate-midi#post-620057 Tue, 15 May 2012 04:27:06 +0000 Beth Ann 620057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had the same thought as Christianne -- I'd like to see something lighter (or perhaps shiny, like a pendant) on the top half. I really love the long midi and the overall proportions here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-disproportionate-midi#post-620056 Tue, 15 May 2012 04:26:31 +0000 catgirl 620056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting about the jacket length. This is actually a pretty short jacket, though it's probably not that cropped on me. I feel like I would look really short-bodied in a shorter jacket, but I will try it!</p> <p>The idea of contrast is good for sure. I just don't have tops that would match with this skirt. What WOULD go is my cropped blush jacket, but I can't wear that to court!</p> <p>Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-disproportionate-midi#post-620049 Tue, 15 May 2012 04:11:35 +0000 christieanne 620049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was thinking it could use some contrast in the top half - the blouse and jacket photograph as a block of darkness. Most likely not like that in real life though? A pendant would break that up or a lighter top next time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-disproportionate-midi#post-620046 Tue, 15 May 2012 04:10:20 +0000 rae 620046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm thinking a shorter jacket or cardi in a color - I actually really like the high waist and super long midi. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-disproportionate-midi#post-620044 Tue, 15 May 2012 04:07:04 +0000 ManidipaM 620044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Personal preference perhaps, but I'd select a shorter cropped jacket with a midi. But I LOVE the skirt on you --- with the stockings and dark-framed glasses vs your very cool hair, this is the librarian/secretary of lovely penmanship who moonlights with a lightsabre by night! :-p </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-disproportionate-midi#post-620037 Tue, 15 May 2012 03:50:52 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 620037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it a lot! Your legs look long, and you look tall and sleek. To me, the outfit's proportions work because the jacket is short. A longer jacket with this length skirt on you would be overwhelming, I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-disproportionate-midi#post-620005 Tue, 15 May 2012 02:39:56 +0000 modgrl 620005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it works for a couple of reasons. You defined your waist. Also, your legs are low contrast with your shoes and look very long. This is how I wear midi's. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-disproportionate-midi#post-619994 Tue, 15 May 2012 02:13:53 +0000 Mo 619994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll be honest - I'd rather see a somewhat shorter skirt on you here. You seem to be lost in all the clothes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-disproportionate-midi#post-619993 Tue, 15 May 2012 02:13:15 +0000 Meredith1953 619993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it Una!<br /> It may not be as edgy as your norm but it still looks great on you ! A pendant would look awesome too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-disproportionate-midi#post-619987 Tue, 15 May 2012 02:01:42 +0000 Amy 619987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this looks great and like the idea of a pendant or a brooch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-disproportionate-midi#post-619984 Tue, 15 May 2012 01:59:45 +0000 MsMary 619984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! How about a long pendant to jazz things up a little? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-disproportionate-midi#post-619971 Tue, 15 May 2012 01:40:19 +0000 catgirl 619971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm feeling rather uninspired. This took me from court to a client's house to a meeting in the office. The tights are more sheer than they look here. Any suggestions? I'm tending toward simplified outfits (no more than three pieces), but I'm not sure they are gelling.</p> <p>Feedback welcome! </p>
